Windshield Wipers Not Working - 7/3/2008 5:59:26 AM

The other day while driving my wipers stopped in mid swipe (how entertaining that was on a rainy afternoon!!). Now they don''t operate at all no matter what wiper function I try and use. I am hoping that I just need a new fuse, but I''m looking for suggestions. And ideas???

Hoping? Is the fuse actually blown?

Possibilities:
fuse
wiring/connector break/contamination
motor dead
linkage sticking
switch dead

This might be more of an inquest than you are prepared for.

I haven''t checked the fuse yet. I was hoping that the fix would be that simple. However, you are right it does seem like a lot more than I wanted to get into. I guess I''ll be headed back to the dealership. Thanks for the help!!
